Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef (Freezer Meal)
Delicious Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
This Mongolian Beef recipe is a perfect one to freeze and then throw in the crock-pot another day. So convenient and the taste is amazing! You will definitely want seconds. It is a beef freezer meal that the whole family can enjoy!
With freezer meals, it is easy and time efficient to make more than one meal at a time. If possible, double the recipe or more. Serve Mongolian Beef for dinner that day and prepare the rest for the freezer!
How to Store Your Mongolian Beef Freezer Meal:
- Combine the ingredients for the sauce and put it in a Ziploc bag, quart size.
- Add the cornstarch-coated raw steak pieces to a separate freezer bag, gallon size.
- Remove excess air from bags, seal, and freeze.
Oh, don’t forget to label the bags and keep them together so you know what they are. You can then thaw it all later and cook it in your slow cooker! So easy.

By the way, if you’re looking for a really nice Chef’s knife, I highly recommend the Victorinox Fibrox 8″ knife. It’s recommended by America’s Test Kitchen as well.

So glad your family enjoyed it too. Your additions sound great!
For this recipe I combine the ingredients for the sauce and put it in the bag, then add the coated raw steak pieces to the bag as well. Freeze. Then thaw and cook later.
If you use a vacuum seal bags could you keep longer?
Yes, it probably would keep for longer. In my experience, vacuum sealed items do tend to last a little longer in the freezer before freezer burn sets in!
Delicious! Easy to make and freeze.
Thanks for the review, Becca!
My slow cooker digital readout is dying. What is your favorite brand of slow cooker? I saw what America’s Test Kitchen chose but the reviews on Amazon didn’t agree. Now I’m stumped.
Hey Jane, great question! I haven’t used a slow cooker in such a long time, lol. I love using my Instant Pot instead. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
